Blacraft Forum

Try going to the location and picking up the items you lost. I'm not really sure whether it should be considered a bug-death or not. But the items definitely still should be there.

Battery 1 has 14 launchers activated once pr. a cycle of 4 repeaters with the longest ticks.

No fireworks is stored in them yet, I store fireworks for it in the locked New Year chest. I guess there may be around 60-80 fireworks in it.

Clarify "time" and "rate"?

Kol. Of course. Which area do you want? (You can also suggest existing regions, they may be inactive and overtakeable).
You may want to make a map with areas in priority. Then we can find one you can focus on and make it a region if you start developing it.

The wither skeleton skull was duplicated in a corrupted chunk. Fireworks being useless overall, it is a good alternative use for them.

But if it's useless then why are we using it? It's not useless, we use it for entertainment. No use is ever good for glitched items.

Bla, would you mind if I used a duplicated item (my wither skeleton skull) for a creeper face firework? It's that or I burn it or it goes into fighting the wither.

No, using duplicated items is cheating.

however wither skeleton skulls are infinite because wither skeletons are mobs and spawn continuously

That doesn't make it okay to just duplicate or spawn them. Many materials are infinite, cobblestone, wood, etc. That doesn't mean we can just /give blanoxium wood 9001 all the time. Then we're playing creative and not survival.

How about the green addition, or alternatively with the red subtraction?

The same is true for most of my roads to some extent. They can just be changed over time but it seems best to have a standard for the future so it won't take even more work to make them all the same.

1: Yes.
2: No, regions contain municipalities.

Notice it's a feeling. It's not a rational reason. You need to ignore your feelings on issues and consider them rationally. Feelings don't matter.

I didn't see the points you were trying to make. Donating to it is voluntary, so rich regions only lose more if they choose to donate more themselves. By voting for "equally in %" rich regions already give more in absolute values, that's also only fair.

"Make polls go back and forth when they could just use their own", I see your point with this, but I simply don't see any reason why that would happen. People can already do that with all of our collective storages, vote 100 diamond blocks out to build their own little temple. But they don't, and they know that if they do, they won't win, and of course it makes no sense that people would make a poll over and over again to win. If necessary/if it happens we can just set limits on that, but I don't expect it to happen.

I assume Spawntown if I would manage it, beneficial if people want to give resources directly to our large projects and an easier place to store confiscated stuff than redistributing.

Cultishy?... How?

I made this building for fireworks stuff, next to the town center. You can put fireworks in the donations chest for New Year if you want, the other New Year 2013 chest is locked and its contents will be used at the event.

People can stand where they want. Maybe we're distributed so 2-3 of us are on the platform by the wall launching fireworks and the rest are close to Spawntown's town center (with at least one at the pyrotechnics building, which is meant as a place for launching fireworks as well on the roof).

I'm thinking of building a launching thing on the water behind pyrotechnics with dispensers for fireworks. Someone could manage it as well.

The town center itself could play music. Maybe "13" when we launch?

The stronghold could also launch fireworks, and the central station bunker even has dispensers.

Also, what do people think of someone holding a new year speech from the small balcony at the top floor of the voting center?
If anyone wants to I think that'd be fun. Before or after launching the fireworks?
I can help you write it. But I'm not sure what its contents should be. About the past year of UBSR, progress, the next year and future? Or something completely un-political?
Then again I can see it being a bit boring to just read text lines appearing as a speech.

I read some people wanted a New Year thing on Blacraft. Seems ok with me. When can we get most people online?

http://time.is/UTC

If we do 00:00 UTC that'll be 23:00 for me. I suppose that could work but I'd have to go some time before 00:00. We could also do it at maybe 02:00 or 03:00 UTC if that works better, or maybe 23:30 UTC if we don't care about the time.
It should be night on Blacraft.
Did people want it in Spawntown? I think I read that. I can make a New Year place for fireworks.

So if people want to do it I encourage people to craft fireworks for that time.

Post if you want to join and when you can be online.

I'll record the event and upload it to YouTube later.

These are the locations I've considered if we want to do it in Spawntown. 1 and 3 would be elevated, relatively flat areas. 2 would be an artificial island.
I'm leaning towards 3, because I think Spawntown looks best from that angle.
The fireworks could be launched in the city. Idk if they work with redstone but we could also connect some launchers and pull them off at our midnight.

SuperNova is inactive and probably never coming back so I'm sort of holding Novascotchara until someone (like a new player) wants to take over (parts) of it for development. I've considered getting a corridor between Kaktoland and Jungelot for myself.
Just post your plans and the location then I'll see if they look ok.

That means I'd have to upgrade the server which would cost money.
I don't think I'm willing to pay that.

Once pr. day, but older backups many months back may not be available at that interval.

Forge built,
tunnel from Spawntown strip mines to Swamphold Mining Central built,
library under construction,
sugar farm established.

I picked up the ender pearls and eyes from Spawntown and Blue Bay publics and activated the portal.

You did use a fortune 3 pick hopefully? Nice though.

I found it from the coords on the image you posted. I built a public storage near the water, on the ground. I might continue work soon.
There's a small shelter with a bed I built into a cliff some time ago a bit north of the storage.
But yes a small village with public sleeping center, forge, station, mining central potentially, would be nice.

Line 2 ideas:
Blue Ink Factory - Earthquake Forest - Quonbla - Swamphold (- Jungelot - Darvwnse-a)
Blue Ink Factory - Earthquake Forest - Novascotchara - Jungelot - Swamphold

Potentially, one of the rails going the other way from Spawntown could be extended along the route going through Novascotchara, and head to Jungelot from there, then to Swamphold or Darvwnse-a. And line 2 could go through Quonbla and Mudkipzania instead. In any case, there are many unused routes heading south of Spawntown compared to north.

Maybe Swamphold should annex Jungelot, which would turn into the municipality Jungelot Cove, since it's small anyway.

ClanForge manages the updates, not me.

Problems problems
always problems
on Blacraft
always a poll
always a corrupted chunk
always an rbs
always another bunch of lost items
always a broken plugin
and an equally broken me
sorry
but I feel more like
spending my spare hours
turning off all the lights
blocking the window with black paper sheets
and lying down on the floor.

now wasn't that poetic.

Stop breaking things and leave me alone please.
Or at least allow me to close this stupid server.
Or make some trustable person ClanForge and server admin.
But I officially do not have the energy to help you understand it.
Even though if you ask I will probably answer anyway.

Ok, please update the 20121215 column as well if so it has the correct values for Saturday.
